stories in their everyday battle. >> it will be impossible to answer all your questions in this hour, be sure and check fox news health.com for more information. we begin with memalanoma, the diagnosis has doubled over the last 30 years especially for young people, now a remarkable treatment is saving lives and why it's taking so long just to get to this point. >> the difficulties associated with cancer have to do with the complexity of the disease. it's made more complex by the fact that cancer is something of an organism itself. >> at the national cancer institute deputy director anna barker is accelerating cancer research. >> i see more promise to advance against this disease i've seen in the last 35 or so years. >> reporter: it suddenly becomes

dangerous and you feel hopeless because i don't have confidence you can control it. >> as a scientist i think of cancer as insidious. >> tyler and phil are molecular biologists. >> our efforts over the last 30 years have been to define the nature of the differences between normal cells and cancer cells. whatare we are learning the process is ever changing and the cancer is evolving so it develops new capabilities and avoid our to control it. >> cells in our bodies grow, divide and die, an ongoing natural process. >> you replace your bones in seven years or something like that, all those cells are being produced. >> and then for one reason or another, some of those genes drives the development of

cancer. >> one in every two to three americans now alive will develop an invasive cancer sometime during their life. about one in five of americans will die of cancer if we don't find a better way to treat it. >> steven rosenberg is chief of surgery at nci. he was astonished when he did a gallbladder operation on a man who 12 years previously had been diagnosed with cancer in many parts of his body. >> all the cancer had mysteriously disappeared. somehow his body had rejected that cancer. it's spontaneous regression is one of rarest events of all medicine. >> trying to replicate this in his laboratory he has had remarkable success with skin cancer. >> when you came here, you had a tumor, in the lung and brain and

>> i had tumors all over my body i could feel. i would feel those just like going away. >> we've ice lied the immune cells away from the tumor cells, identified the ones that have the most reactive against the cancer and expanded them in culture. there are millions and machines of cells that are growing here. >> these are the cells that we grew from the tumor we took out. just imagine those cells chewing up the tumor. >> when the treatment works, it works very quickly but it doesn't work in everybody. right now the particular treatment we're using cautioning a substantial cancer regression in about half of all the patients we treat. >> he was an 80% tumor reduction at one month. very impressive. >> having side effects, anything at all? >> no, i feel great. >> the tumor is shrinking down. >> back to normal? >> yes. >> on the other hand going to

the next room, there is one of the patients that didn't respond. frankly those are the ones i tend to think about when i lie awake at night. it's a rollercoaster, it's a terrible tragedy for half of the patients for whom it doesn't work. >> as clinic trials continue, he hopes that immuno therapy will work for other cancers, as well. >> i see this as exciting developments in treatments for cancer. >> coming up, the right treatment for the right person at the right time. i'm done with airline credit cards promising 25,000 miles a flight only to be told... there's nothing for 25.

dollars. that is much, that is just getting it developed and approved. >> they looked at cost versus benefit of treatment. >> the overwhelming of drugs are in pre-clinical tests, but the ones that are actually approved barely nudge survival. >> the mechanism of action of these targeted drugs certainly is. instead of killing both healthy and cancer us on cells they go after specific proteins in some leukemia and stomach cancers. it stops vital nutrients, colon, breast and kidney cancers, but the cost versus benefit analysis gets complicated when it's life versus death. >> when you started talking about treatment for hundred thousand dollars or $20,000, it's an enormous payment for

what is a clinical trial, most like a marginal expense but some people benefit enormously. >> my view is we are turning a corner on cancer. in 1971 we almost knew nothing but we are seeing the payoff of that investment. >> i think very frustrated that so much of the research in breast cancer is going into research on mice and rats and petri dishes. >> one of the problems is recruiting patients for clinic trials. that has been a mission for susan love. >> i asked one of my colleagues, why aren't you doing this research on women. they say women are too messy. we can't control them. we can control rats, we can control what they eat and what they do. he said almost an aside, i don't know how to find women anyway. i said i know how to find women. >> one of the most shocking
